During what seemed like our lifetime-long venue search, I had mentioned to one of the numerous venue coordinators we met with that lighting was important to me. Specifically, I wanted a feeling of coziness – dark, but not dark enough that you couldn’t see the person next to you. Just an overall feeling of warmth and glow. Not very specific, right? But without skipping a beat, this well-seasoned wedding professional responded knowingly, “Oh yes – you want dark and sparkly.”
Of course she hit the nail on the head and since that moment, “dark and sparkly” has been a key theme in my wedding planning. Luckily, our venue’s gold-leafed ceilings will contribute perfectly to this theme.
